  I notice that all of your time setting choices are UTC + a number. However, in the US, in New York, when it is Friday 7:23 pm, it is the next day in London, Saturday, 12:23 am. I would like my posts to be marked with the day that I write them, which is particularly important with breaking news. Don’t you need UTC minus a number, so that those of us in the US can have our real day marked? Or is there a way to mark them individually by hand? I have seen listings on your support page for US Eastern Standard Time as UTC +5, but this does not give us the proper day. Nor does +4 or +:30, etc. We need to be able to mark the day before what it is in London. Accuracy, please…

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You can check this Wikipedia article for timezone information. New York, for instance is UTC -5

  Have you gone here and changed your timezone on your blog? > Settings > General

  Thank you. I scrolled down many times, but for some reason never scrolled up, so I missed the minus numbers. Did my changes now. Duh!
